.75 mg of xanax is equal to about 15 mg. of valium, so it is NOT a small dose! I too take xanax and my greatest desire is to be off it completely. I was prescribed up to 4mg. 20 years ago and now am down to 1.75mg., looking to taper v e r y slowly this Spring. It may take me a year or more to come off it; it is dangerous to cold-turkey any benzo.

Here is gold-standard source of information on benzodiazepines: how they work and how to withdraw, by Dr. Heather Ashton, renowned expert in these drugs:

Read the manual - it is invaluable to any benzo user wanting to quit.
